Summer in Science is a two-week experience designed to help highly motivated high-school students to get a taste of working in a lab and to better understand how science works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rossana De Lorenzi and Tommaso Nastasi are scientists-turned-educators who \u2013 following the spirit of EMBL\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/emblog.embl.de\/ells\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences<\/a> (ELLS) \u2013 founded Adamas Scienza. For them, being able to host Summer in Science is a dream come true, and their passion for their work is clear. \u201cThis full-time, immersive, intensive training is an excellent way for very motivated students to see, integrate and elaborate on their knowledge,\u201d says Nastasi. \u201cThey will later use this experience to work on science or other projects.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-14070\"><figure class=\"vf-figure  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"425\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lab_620x425.jpg\" alt=\"PHOTO: Berta Carre\u00f1o\/EMBL\" class=\"wp-image-14070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lab_620x425.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lab_620x425-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">PHOTO: Berta Carre\u00f1o\/EMBL<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first week of the summer school, students attend seminars by EMBL scientists and practical sessions in the lab. The lab training allows the students to develop the skills needed to conduct basic molecular biology experiments. The students were divided into groups and asked to come up with their own strategy to create fluorescent bacteria using the gene for green fluorescent protein. De Lorenzi and Nastasi used each step of the experiment to sharpen the student\u2019s skills. Each unexpected result was an opportunity to analyse why things had or hadn\u2019t worked, acknowledging that there might have been elements unknown to the students at the beginning of the experiment. \u201cWe reproduced what research is in a very short amount of time,\u201d explains De Lorenzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-14071\"><figure class=\"vf-figure  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"425\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mouse_facility_620x425.jpg\" alt=\"PHOTO: Rossana De Lorenzi\/ Adamas Scienza\" class=\"wp-image-14071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mouse_facility_620x425.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/mouse_facility_620x425-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">PHOTO: Rossana De Lorenzi\/Adamas Scienza<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The lab training gives the students self-confidence and autonomy, enabling them to actively participate in the real laboratory experience of the second week. PhD students, postdocs, and research technicians working on a real project agree to tutor one or two of the students so that the students can explore the most recent techniques and research methodologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Lorenzi and Nastasi also use science history as a way to introduce new concepts and aspects of research to the students. When divided into groups for the laboratory training, each group was named after a famous biological research institute so that the students had to learn about its history and explain it to the rest of the class. At the end of the day the educators give a name or a word \u2013 like Kary Mullis, inventor of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) \u2013 to the students, who then do some research on it. First thing the next morning the group comes together to share what they\u2019ve found out, ending up discussing topics ranging from PCR to the use of animals in research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-14072 size-full\"><figure class=\"vf-figure  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"425\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lancrin_620x425.jpg\" alt=\"PHOTO: Berta Carre\u00f1o\/EMBL\" class=\"wp-image-14072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lancrin_620x425.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/lancrin_620x425-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">PHOTO: Berta Carre\u00f1o\/EMBL<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s good for young people to see how research is made, and to understand that it\u2019s not absolute,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.it\/research\/unit\/lancrin\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christophe Lancrin<\/a>, group leader at EMBL Rome. \u201cWhen I was in high school, biology appeared to be set in stone. It was only several years later that I realised what we consider scientific facts change as we learn and explore new things. It\u2019s important to see that things are not always clear cut, that things we considered true yesterday can be refuted tomorrow because we came by new evidence. Regardless of whether the students become scientists, it\u2019s still an excellent and useful exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-14073\"><figure class=\"vf-figure  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"425\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/trainin_lab_620x425.jpg\" alt=\"PHOTO: Rossana De Lorenzi\/ Adamas Scienza \" class=\"wp-image-14073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/trainin_lab_620x425.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/trainin_lab_620x425-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">PHOTO: Rossana De Lorenzi\/Adamas Scienza<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverything comes together,\u201d says Nastasi. \u201cThe students figure out how the science community works, but also begin to understand that when you\u2019re a scientist you are part of society as well. So all the polarisation you feel in public opinion about science and society loses a bit of its power. By the end, we think the students get a better sense of how science really works and of the dialogues between the different fields of knowledge and society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.it\/research\/unit\/gross\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cornelius Gross<\/a>, Deputy Head of EMBL Rome: \u201cWe need more people to think like scientists, because few people do that! The more the better, because it will be good for humanity. I fundamentally believe scientific thinking is a way towards living together peacefully with other people.
